When it comes to the term "triple-threat," the artist known as Jonyfraze
makes it sound like an understatement. More popularly known in the early days
of his career as a turntablist, many accolades were bestowed on the Jersey native
with the W's to show for it.
But in his eyes it did not stop at one element. As he began recording his debut
album with group Organic Thoughts entitled, "The Purest Form," he
did not hang up his turntables. Nor did he through away his records or needles.
Instead, "Fraze" as he is also known, honed his skills on the microphone. Simultaneously, he began perfecting his production skills, a task made easy from his roots as a turntablist.
As a result, Organic Thoughts scored a CMJ top ten hit in 2004 with "The
Purest Form," a unique fusion of soul, jazz, and true-school hip-hop, which
earned high praises from the underground hip-hop community.
Intertwining emceeing, production and cherry topping many of the tracks with
his battle class cuts, Fraze caught the attention of many ears. Many of those
same listeners adhered to his homegrown yet unique sense of sound.
With all the factual evidence to prove his worth in the game, Jonyfraze comes
into the game like a three-pronged spear... each point is as sharp as the next,
yet the victim can not predict what they will be hit with first. Fortunately,
hip-hop fans will be attacked by a pleasing blow to the head.
